Abstract: A method for manufacturing frozen noodles including a step of subjecting raw noodles or dried noodles manufactured by an ordinary method to boiling treatment to produce boiled noodles containing moisture less than moisture of the noodles after cooking, a step of applying water to surfaces of the boiled noodles by sprinkling or dipping, a step of filling a freezing container with the boiled noodles having water applied to the surfaces and an ice lump containing frozen water, and a step of subjecting the boiled noodles to freezing treatment, in which the freezing treatment is started within 120 seconds from an end of the boiling treatment.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a water-absorbing sheet which, with respect to urine having a wide range of salt concentrations (mass %) including 0, has a favorable liquid absorption speed and favorable re-wet, and which has good comfortability for users, including infants, whose urine tends to change in salt concentration due to a change in the user's physical condition. In a water-absorbing sheet (10), a first particulate water-absorbing agent (12a) and a second particulate water-absorbing agent (12b) are localized, the first particulate water-absorbing agent (12a) has a gel permeation rate (GPR) which differs by 10 or more from that of the second particulate water-absorbing agent (12b), and the gel permeation rate of the second particulate water-absorbing agent (12b) is 50 or less.
